"She's a blossoming music photographer who may someday surpass anything I've done in that regard." - BOB LEAFE (PHOTOGRAPHER)

"Your photos are strong - you've got a good eye and a solid sense of design. Plus, you are clearly in love with the subject, both the music and the musicians, and it's also clear you've got the necessary talent, obsession (in the best sense of the word) and dedication to be successful." - BARON WOLMAN (ROLLING STONE'S FIRST PHOTOGRAPHER)

"These are so good! I forgot about some of those older pics that you took that I loved so much. The Blender shots are awesome!!!!" - BUTCH WALKER (MUSICIAN/PRODUCER)

"The first day I met Olivia I was lying in bed with her thinking, this could be the coolest person I've ever met. She was wearing a sock hat, I knew she had style. Since that first day she hasn't changed much. Still one of the coolest, smartest, most enjoyable people to hang with, and she likes my sense of humor. She's original; we've together played drums, drawn, played baseball, studied music and people. She's an exceptional artist whether drawing, writing, photographing or touching someone's life. Quiet and wise beyond her years, she attracts all kinds of people to her; young, old, talented, powerful, etc. In common they all offer her the same thing, respect, well earned and deserved. On that first day we met, she was hours old and I had just become Olivia's Dad." - RUSS T. BLADES (DRUMMER/PRODUCER)

"You're absolutely right about the genius and personality of the group. They are serious, very serious about their fun, and they know how to give the audience a good time. It was a nice article, and your pictures were great. Thanks a bunch." - JEFF FRENCH SEGALL

"Just a quick note to say how great it is to see you from time to time. It is even MORE SPECIAL, as a teacher, to see how such a fine YOUNG lady continues to develop such a wonderful "zest" for the Arts and for life itself! :)

I hope your passion for ART in general, becomes even stronger and integrated into the person you STILL are becoming!

I, on the other hand, will always remember you as Cute, Quiet, Little, Blond-Headed Olivia~ wearing a funky little Bohemian outfit or dress, who always created very cool art ....sitting at table #6 in the Fairmount School art room!" - JOE LAMATTINA (ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ART TEACHER)

"Olivia's kind nature, generous spirit and love for music and photography never cease to amaze me...not only does her work stand out on it's own but she is truly a fan of music and understands the timing needed to make a great photo or design work...above all else Olivia really cares about the people involved...She's an amazing artist, designer, and friend...Olivia has something special going for her and that's care in her talent...She refuses to do something if she doesn't do it 100% and she knows the value of music and art being connected to represent an entire project..." - JAYSON MICHAEL (PRODUCER/SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN)

"Olivia has a natural talent for getting exceptional shots. I would see her at rock shows, always up front taking photos - but never until I saw her photos of my band did I realize that this girl isn't just "taking pictures" for her scrap book. She's perfecting her skills for the big time. She displays confidence and is very comfortable to work with. Olivia is sweet and damn she rocks!" - BRIAN KING (10 HEADS HIGH)

"There's something to be said for someone who can take four sweat soaked, shaggy haired, holey tee-shirt and jeans wearing delinquents and make them look effing brilliant. It's more than having just a "good eye", an' it goes way beyond just having ridiculously expensive equipment... It's about loving what you do. Olivia loves rock and roll... And her amazing images reflect that passion. Liv's pics are press pack paydirt (try saying that ten times fast)... She captures the energy on film that every band hopes and strives to convey live... To be trite and cliché they say a good picture is worth a thousand words... I guess a roll full of them speaks volumes more. For an outside eye her shots are precise visual testaments to what an act is all about... their look, their sound, their confidence, how exciting their show is, whether or not they're connecting with their audience... A&R and Label Guy bliss. For the four sweat soaked, shaggy haired, holey tee-shirt and jeans wearing delinquents that had the pleasure of having her photograph them on that particular evening... It's vindication inna one-hour Walmart film sleeve." - JARRETT BEELER (MUSICIAN/SONGWRITER)

"There are some people in this world that have a natural talent or a certain feel for something. Whether it be music, art, math, etc. these are the people that make a difference in people's everyday lives. Olivia is one of these naturally talented people. The way that she uses the camera to capture people is unique. Our band pictures are always superb, the lighting and angles are always perfect. Not only does she take pictures at a professional level, but working with her is always a good time. When we were first introduced she was wearing a Beatles t-shirt and that's when I knew she was an awesome person." - DANIEL CEBALLOS (THE DISTRICT)

"Good live shots are something that I love to see. Growing up the walls of my bedroom have always been loaded with great shots of Led Zeppelin, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix. Seeing these, I always hoped that maybe I would look half as cool as these guys; however owning a mirror, I could clearly see this wasn't possible, being a very nerdy, not so physically attractive guy. But with Olivia's photos she manages to make me look like I belong in a rock band, and that is no easy task." - MATT FISHER

"Olivia has a mastery beyond her years when it comes to photography, particularly her band photos. We have had several shoots with her and have been more than happy with the results. We've used her material for press kits, epks, posters, flyers, etc. We've even refered her for other projects. Most importantly, however, is her attitude. She is a carefree spirit that exudes a sense of lightheartedness that is contagious. This, I believe is most important when taking photos. In my experience, Olivia is not only on her way, she's already there." - JARRETT RANDAZZO (COPPERPOT)
